Legs and pain?

[Ripped2Shredds]

Two questions here:

1) Squats, I have proper form always have...my knees have been burning intensely for some reason, really nagging on my legs.Whats up?

2) Hamstring curl=the most excrutiating pain i have ever felt. When i get off the machine I can't stand because of the pain and my knees feel so weak, even light weight does this. I have been experiencing this for 2 years now. I just lay off that exercise, but it also does it after heavy deads. I am begining to wonder because it is always both knees...any suggestions or experiences with this.

thanks guys...

Yes, go to a sports medicine clinic. You might try box squats, if you haven't already.

i had similar pain, not in the knees but in the hamstrings. it was and still is a pinched nerve. hit a doctor up. no reason to destroy ligaments and tendons if you dont have to.

tendonitis it is from 15 years of wrestling and 9 years of squats...The doc said some people's knees can handle the wear and tear, and sometimes you just turn the wrong way, son you must have turned alot...shitty

So no more squatting?

I wrapped them up last time, went heavy but only 5 reps...feels much better then going for reps of 8-12. I'm not sure what the hell or even why for that fact, I am thinking that maybe endurance typ activities bother more then 5 short power reps, which involves more muslce and less knee contraction. I also felt better off heavy deads this time too, with wraps just in case, but instead of strictly hittign the hamstrings, I went for lower back and felt alot better. It's tolerable now
